What you'll learn in this cheese tasting class:

Calling all cheeselovers! Whether you're an Epoisses expert or a Roquefort rookie, Cheese 101 is the place to be. We'll walk you through a tasting of seven families of cheese--from fresh to bloomy to blue and everything in between--so that you leave armed with the knowledge you need to approach even the most daunting of cheese counters and create a perfect cheese course of your own.

Every cheese has a story, and we'll explore each one, all while enjoying unlimited pours of our house sparkling and red wines to pair with your plate of our favorite cheeses at peak perfection.

Cheese 101 is recommended for ages 16 and up. Non-alcoholic beverages are available in substitution of house wines.

Hi Svetlana! It is not unsafe for pregnant women but they would need to let Murray's Cheese know ahead of time. If someone pregnant signs up, you can send us an email before the class date so that Murray's Cheese can set their seat accordingly. This would mean they would leave your seat alcohol free, and also make sure that all of the cheese on your plate are pasteurized. Hope this helps!

Cheese 101

Reviewed by Christian C. on 7/14/2019

Instructor was great and informational, learned a lot about different cheeses and learned a lot about cheeses I liked/don’t like. Great experience, even went downstairs afterward and took a couple of the cheeses we tried home. Drinks and snacks were great as well. Keep up the good work!

The teacher of the class, Chiara, was friendly and very informative. She encouraged us to ask questions and didnt cut her answers short. Also, there was unlimited white and red wine to go with the seven delicious cheese samples and great snacks too! I highly recommend this class and plan to attend the other classes they offer! A very enjoyable experience!
